Why is he having this drama about captaincy? SAH has made mistakes, but I think he also has established himself with captaincy materials. He should be made captain until further notice.

Great to see the board president not content with the series wins and pointing out that we still have loads to improve.
Also, if board selects Mashrafe over Shakib as the captain, they might as well bring back Minhajul Abedin in the team.

^^ and honestly I dont think it will be a bad move. We do not have a single cricketer like Nannu in our current team who can rotate the strikes.

On the contrary, we have. Shakib is great in rotating the strike. Sometimes Mushfiq can also do it quite well.

Yeah but the PROBLEM is he doesnt want to be the captain. Now should the board make shakib the captain without his will again ?

If Mashrafe is fit, go for him, when Shakib wants to concentrate more on his game. If Mash is unsure, Shakib will also do fine. Captaincy was never a big issue for our team. Hope, BCB does not create that now.

how stupid bcb can be? misquoting " Shakib wasn't prepare" and using it in their favour to draw conclusion against Shakib. It is only common sense to understand why Shakib said he was not prepared for the captaincy. WHO WOULD BE? Especially after such performance against NZ, if they still mention Mash's name in captaincy list? I mean what's wrong with Shakibs captaincy? The main job of a captain is to lead from the front and be an example and make the country proud. Shakib has been doing it since the WI tour then why Mash again? There is no such rule as replace the PERFORMING CAPTAIN with the 'imaginary captain(Mash)' that was in mind, is there? Shakib has done better than all the previous captains combined and much more, yet he is not going to be respected for this?
This is village conspiracy by this village cow lotus kamal.

If Shakib is not selected as captain then prepare for some CHAOS in the team and a MOODY SHAKIB and Negative performances from him. And I back Shakib for any crime he does as he is the VICTIM of A VILLAGE COW. Lotus is here to ruin the best cricketer we have. I don't know what revenge he is trying to take on Shakib risking the whole country's hope! I hope Bangladesh Cricket can immune itself from this LOTUS KAMAL DISEASE.

Beside if MASH has any common sense, he would step down and say he thinks Shakib is the best for this role. otherwise he is also just a GREEDY person who lusts over power and leadership with RESPONSIBILITY for the nation is the LAST thing in mind.

I think the only reason Shakib is sick of this captaincy issue is because he wants a long term commitment from the board to build his own team. After his performance as a captain since the west indies series there should not have been talks of Mash at all... Shakib is simply better in all cricketing aspects than Mashrafi... I think Shakib would have had a settled team by now if all the drama over seniority and mash wasnt allowed to continue by bcb

Shakib does not want to be the makeshift captain. Why can't BCB select a permanent captain. Why this fascination with Mash? He is a great competitor, but he is prone to breakdown. You want stability with the captain.

Exactly. The wthness of this is paramount. Where the bloody heck does Mashrafe even come in to the equation? His captaincy never brought us any notable glory (winning against England just to lose two to the associates right after doesn't count) and he has done absolutely nothing to prove that he is the man for the job. Ever since he broke a leg in the West Indies, it has been Shakib all through. Best batsman, best bowler, best all rounder, best captain, the best at everything. There is absobloodykapolutely no freaking place for Mashrafe in this discussion. Only one man in the entire nation can lead us to glory and by picking Mashrafe as captain, these dung heads are simply bringing all the doom in the world upon us. Sure, make anyone but Shakib captain, but also be sure that the world will end with a bang, with a disaster much more lethal than 2012.

Shakib has a bunch of demands that needs to be met in order for him to take up the captaincy. That doesn't mean he doesn't want to captain. It means these bloody infidels now have an excuse to deny him that role.

Lotus is a mighty man with a mighty whip, but he is also a whip master who has no clue how to use his equipment. Someone needs to show him by applying it on him.

CAN YOU KEEP MASHRAFEE MORTAZA OUT OF THESE? U GUYS ARE MAKING A BAD IMPRESSION OF MASHRAFEE WHO COULD BE AND PROBABLY IS INNOCENT AND HAS NO HAND IN THIS.
LIKE SERIOUSLY, SOME DUMBSHIT GUY STARTS SAYING RSNDOM THINGS AND SOME OF U GUYS ARE JUDGEING HIS CAPTAINCY SKILLS BY IT ....
DUNT SAY HE IS A BAD CAPTAIN UNLESS U HAVE EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT IT. IF U ASIF, DUNT COUNT HIS WIN OVER ENGLAND BECAUSE OF 2 LOSES IN BAD CONDITIONS, THAN GUESS WHAT? I CAN SAY THAT SAKIB ONLY ONE AGAINST A SECOND STRING WEST INDIES, COMPLETELY DONE ZIM AND KIWIS AT HOME CONDITIONS NOT TO
MENTION THAT THEY GOT UTTERLY DESTROYED BY A SECOND STRING INDIA WITH NO COMPETITION, SO WATS SAKIBS ACHIEVEMENT????

I want Sakib to be captain simply because he has been one for long and kept his performance steady. But questioning mash"s ability as captain is simply illiterate as we dunt know how it's gonna be

First of all, all caps are discouraged in most civilized communities in today's world.

Secondly, no one is downplaying Mash. The truth is by picking him as captain for the world cup, we'll be overlooking someone who has delivered day in and day out, which is stupid. As you yourself said, you want Shakib as the captain because he's done it for so long. Don't forget we beat NZ 4-0 under his leadership, which is by far our best achievement ever. Mash needs to prove that he is captaincy material by performing over an extended period of time, which hasn't happened due to circumstances out of everyone's control, but if someone comes in his place and does well, then the latter is more deserving.

No one's downplaying Mash. My qualm was with Lotus and his decision making, not Mash. Besides, scroll up to the top of the forum and check out who got injured again.

Very well said.

This is as simple as that.

The PTB at BCB cannot countenance Shakib as captain even if the latter has proven again and again his capabilities. He (the former) is sacrificing the national good at the alter of his own personal biases. Is he that much of an idiot that even the lowest of the low did not read between the lines during his latest press conference?
